BEHAVIORAL ADJUSTMENTS
This is a recycled post from a year ago and I trust it still resonates with purpose and meaning. Slightly revised, here it is for your consideration. Many people seek to make adjustments in a new year and I consider these well worth the investment. Whether at work, at home or out in public, here

END & BEYOND
In Central Switzerland there is a trail that leads to the “End of the World” – the place where the Horbis valley suddenly comes to an end. The trail starts at Engelberg railway station and leads down to the end of Dorfstrasse. There, by the Abbey chapel, you follow the steps up to the road,

WINTER SOLSTICE 2018
On Friday, December 21, 2018, at 2:23 pm PST 22:23 UTC, the sun will reach its southernmost point before starting back on its northward trek toward Spring.

0HATE VS INDIFFERENCE
“The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.” Elie Wiesel Opposites may not be what we first think. In other words what appears as obvious may
